Textbook age?


Recommended Posts

With my older dc I did not need to submit book lists or course descriptions, but I have no idea where my youngest will want to attend.  Am I correct in remembering that the NCAA limits accepted texts to the past ten years?  Do colleges that want course descriptions ever require that time frame?  I've been looking at my 2006 Prentice Hall Biology by M/L and wondering if I should update it, just in case.

I don't include copyright dates on my course descriptions. If I did, I would still have zero,qualms about using Foerster's and without looking, I think it has something like a 95 date. My kids are still,using books I used with my oldest and he graduated in 2007. Things do change, especially in bio, but imho, not enough at the introductory high school level that I would worry about it except for things like the NCAA.
